The inner voice says:

You’re not smart enough. You’re not pretty enough. You’re not confident enough, thin enough, interesting enough.

That is the inner voice of beautiful, strong, smart, courageous, and powerful grown** women from all over the world.

In this episode, I am talking about what an inner critic (IC) is and why the IC exists in *most* of us, and how to use loads of self-compassion to befriend your IC to help you find freedom in making your critic’s voice quieter than your true, authentic voice which deserves to SHINE. 

I’m going to give you a peek inside my IC and how SHE and I had a rough start to 2022.

I wanted to talk about the inner critic today to help you hug it out with your IC and make HER a little less noisy so you can be friends - because when we’re friends with ourselves, life becomes a little more peaceful and a lot more adventurous.
